Poetry

Poetry is the magic germinating out of the miracle of life

Ninnets

This would be the 17th Collection

 
About your mourning

Nine times nine or five times six
You play with this or that many sticks
Coming back to yourself you do fine

Counting your jewels all in a daze of
Bite marks of daily squabbles and off
You to your pressure cooker's mounting

Compounding all your cynical self and salt
You drown deeper in your vinegar and malt
Cupping your rocks that prick you: mourning

How Do You Measure a Kiss

How do you measure a kiss or even the desire
To kiss that presses your heart into a dancing fire?
How do you set out your solid yardsticks now?

Time that it lasts or the strength at which you
Get all spread out into the clouds: locating- hou-
Sing yourself somewhere to stop spinning time

Come to a halt? How do you catch it that kiss
That acts as though you're a burning time's miss
Fired round of speechless speech: a light-fire calm!

Eaten-ware


This is what they say about life and living
You gather the wraps that are given and using
Them you step on stepped onto paths. Follow is

What you ought to do and you will be fine with
South facing vineyard full of generated full heath
Of grapes! Wine, dine in masquerading paper hut;

Where you gather all your until-buntil bugsome
Dollars, pounds, yens and euros all dry, fulsome
And do not wake up for you are almost eaten-ware

They Are

My words are what I am and to you easy though
They may seem regardless true and they are through
Of the tree that bears my foliage and fruits on high

They seem boneless to you yet came out of my living
And faith and belief I offer them to dress and knitting
Them with my pulses and beatings they are my hay

Day: my dreams' ornaments and living's apparels
They are what I gathered along as elemental jewels
And they are my air always oxygenating my pains' bay.

Give Back My Lyre

The earth takes in all and in return
Offers a serene resolute silence-urn
Filled with darkness that takes a hearth

Shape where dark fires of silence churn
There I offer my cries and sorrows to burn
Distant they become; no need rises: tape

There is none or devices to record nor any
Witnesses to withstand the heat's many
Acts of arts to destroy: give back my lyre!

The Joy

Starting somewhere you begin to walk
You had a sense of tiny wonder to chalk
Out your questions where you see charming

Thing begins to show as more questions
You list than answers. Your renditions
Ring for further lights and march; breathing,

Restless you learn as you fern out the spark:
The joy is in running and inhaling the dark
Beating, expanding, being, erasing regardless

Live by Your Own Rune

Amply available they are: the cyniconcides
They are like the currency of the air and tides
And you cannot but breathe and drink simply

Because it is intoxic and intolerant and will
Not accept a no for a fee in any time at all
And here you sleep, rip your heart but cause

None there is for escape for you off this thing
Unless you dare to share nothing with the ring
Masters of the clans and live by your own rune

You Sure One Day

You sure one day would know the meaning
That now decorates your disgust's brewing
All the time enabling my defunct face's hue

In monstrous appearance! One day will arise
Out of your living's sudden waking up prize
This image of sky in water: at a-peace-reign

That was what you did not or could not see
Which were there all the time and your sea
Was always stormy: toil-full tornados' hurt

You-Thing

Beware about the market that makes
Things to sell of mud boxes and decks
It makes a you-thing if you are not aware

In fact it has done already and you are nine
Twenty-five a piece selling at the desk Fine
Where you utter and butter getting fat Dean

So whatever you do you must compare
The prices and require a buzz-good dare
Sale for yourself: make sure you surely do

Yet Truth

If you look out and reach the object
Surely you touch its exterior extent
And you form a feel of its fact: dip

Deeper than what is on the surface
You dive, swim with your fin-lace
Pointing outward: staying a seeker

Facts and figures form something
Yet truth, like the lights absorbing
Keep all together become air-facts

Areally

And at the end you see areal your gatherings
You can count them if you like but like stars
They are no coins or plates of gold or band

Your living like the shine on the summer leaf
Glistening under the shower of lights' reef
Wind's caress and its murmuring music pure

All that you see and touch is what you become
Nothing else matters that are not in your home
With you: so areally you gather and hold tall


Let Me Come in

Let me come, softly, in this geometric space
Lit lightly brightly where lit-greens race
In a solemn deep peace in vibrations' boat

This out, this wider cold and comfortless
Roads, streets covered with left over miss
Matched materials and marks: hers and his

Hurried pointless walks and run abouts
Weathered in a dry-drowned cynicism's
Non-care. Let me come in as gentle wind
